Who We Help

If your spouse pursues dominance, we restore balance.

We stand with people who have been controlled, diminished or overpowered in their relationship. We dismantle that control and put you back in charge of your future.

You are successful in life, but stuck in this relationship.

Our clients are intelligent, capable people who manage successful careers, families and lives. But in their relationship, the dynamic is different.

You feel controlled and dominated.

You’re dealing with a power imbalance that makes you feel like you have lost control.

You fear your ex's retaliation.

You want to leave, but you’re terrified of a drawn-out, expensive court battle.

You want fairness, not revenge.

You aren't trying to destroy your ex, you just want a fair settlement so you can move on.

Our clients typically are

Business Owner Families
We represent sole traders, company directors, partners, self-employed professionals or their spouses. These business owners often have intertwined personal and business affairs that require careful navigation. This includes valuation of business and complex corporate structures, addressing employment issues when a spouse is involved in the business and compliance with tax and SMSF regulations. They may also have parenting disputes.
Medical Professional Families
We assist doctors and dentists including surgeons, anesthetists, dermatologists, psychiatrists, neurologists, general practitioners, orthodontists or their spouses. Many of whom run their own medical practice. These professionals face unique challenges due to the complex nature of their financial and personal situations. They may also have  parenting disputes.
High Net-Worth Families
We support high level executives and their spouses, with high-stakes financial settlements and parenting arrangements, balancing complex asset portfolios and demanding work commitments. They face specific challenges such as complex asset structures involving shares, trust, and SMSF with potential significant tax consequences if care is not taken with the division of assets and the drafting of orders. They may also have parenting disputes.
Our Values

Calm. Strategic. Protective.

Calm guidance

When things feel uncertain or overwhelming, we provide clear steady guidance. Our goal is to calmly bring your matter to a resolution on your terms, so you always feel in control.

Strategic control

Our strategic FLP Approach gives you control over your most important decisions: your children, your finances and your future. This is your life. You do not want the court imposing these decisions upon you.

Feel protected

Even when the whole world feels like it is falling down around you, we will be by your side every step of the way. We will help you regain your confidence, your voice, and control.

Walk away with dignity

Understand that you can only control your own actions. If your spouse does not choose to meet your standards, the only way to honour your integrity is to walk away. You deserve to be in relationships and environments where you are valued. Shift your energy from your past relationship towards your future goals and happiness.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What do we typically cover during a consultation?

We focus on what's relevant to your circumstances. That usually covers:

  • Planning for separation
  • Protecting assets
  • Property settlement options
  • Child-focused parenting
  • Managing inheritance and business risks
  • Handling contested or high-conflict separations
  • Navigating divorce

You'll leave with a clear plan.

What are my legal rights after separation?

Your rights depend on your specific situation, including the length of your relationship, whether you have children and the financial picture.

In your first consultation, we will be able to provide you with high level advice so you can make informed decisions.

What documents should I collect before I speak with a lawyer?

A helpful starting list includes a chronology of events, recent bank statements, mortgage documents, property valuations, superannuation statements, tax returns and details of any debts.

Do I have to tell my partner straight away that I’m getting legal advice?

No. Many of our clients prefer to get advice first so they understand where they stand and can plan the separation.

How do I know my lawyer will put my family’s needs first?

It’s normal to feel cautious, especially given the reputation of the industry. Our commitment is to act in your best interests and to work from clear values. We aim to earn trust through transparency and doing what’s right by you and your family.

We understand that when you’re navigating a separation or family law dispute, the financial strain can sometimes stand in the way of accessing the legal support you deserve. That’s why FLP Family Law have partnered with JustFund - Australia’s only dedicated provider of flexible funding solutions for family law legal fees.

Through this partnership, eligible clients can access a flexible line of credit to cover legal fees and expenses related to separation or property matters, with nothing to repay until your settlement is reached.Approval is based on your legal matter, not your income or credit score, making quality legal representation accessible even during times of financial hardship.
